Librarian point of view - As M Tomsett says, this method cannot work properly without an email address. The email field should not be required - especially now with so many countries requiring specific opt-in permission from the user to send them email. However, it should be possible for people to use online services without giving an email address. I agree with Marcel that the ideal solution is to have the user enter password (hidden, twice for verification) in the registration form. Then, let the email address be optional, as a library set preference.
The problem with an optional email address on self registration is that you have no means to verify that the user registering is a real person. It would open self registrations up to bots and pranks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
